It started with a dermatologist and an idea

The story of Advalight began when Danish professor Peter Bjerring, MD, made an inquiry to the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). Peter Bjerring felt that the dermatological technologies available at the time were far too expensive and required too much maintenance. He believed that there was a need to modernize the technology by utilizing solid state laser technology and to create yellow-wavelength lasers that were simple to use and easy to maintain.

Via the DTU, two PhD students Jesper L. Mortensen and Morten Thorhauge who had already developed ideas about how to emit yellow light by using simpler technology, took up the challenge. In 2006, they put a team together, applied for funding, patented the technology, and started exploring the potential of solid-state yellow light lasers in the field of dermatology.

Today Advalight has launched its first yellow-wavelength solid-state diode pumped laser, ADVATx, on the global dermatology market. Advalight is ISO13485 certified and has obtained CE and FDA approval for sales of ADVATx in Europe and the US.
